Western Air Defense Sector (WADS) is there. Mostly or entirely guard. Air Control Squadron/unit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Air_Defense_Sector There is also an air support operations....group I think. ASOG. It's accross I5 from the base, can't remember what the facility is called. I know of nothing that involves flying, but there is rated jobs. Obviously in the ASOG, possibly in WADS.

For our wounded Veterans: This country, our lawmakers---and we, the voting public--owe you an incalculable debt. At the least, you should be provided for in a manner fitting of one who sacrificed so much to fulfill national policy. For the familes of our MIA: it is disgraceful that so little is done to retrieve our lost from semi-known locations. For those of us on APC, I ask: write your Congressmen and Senators and tell them your views on...

You need to call the reserve personnel center and inform them. They will honor the promotion, which will negate the mandatory separation date.
